Elmo G-TUB30480FEHSNA2 – High‑Voltage Servo Drive for 400–480 V Class Motion Systems

The Elmo G-TUB30480FEHSNA2 belongs to the Gold series of networked servo drives and is aimed at high‑power axes where cabinet space and performance both matter. From my experience, the G‑TUB family is typically chosen for 400–480 V class machines that need fast response, precise control, and rock‑solid uptime. You might notice that this model code points to a high‑voltage variant with advanced feedback options—well suited to medium and large servo motors in packaging lines, web handling, metal processing, and high‑speed material handling.

Order Placement Process and Guarantees

• Payment terms: 50% advance payment; full payment prior to delivery
• Express delivery: FedEx, UPS, DHL

Key Features

• High‑voltage bus support (400–480 V class): Designed for HV servo applications where cabinet-level DC bus or 3‑phase rectified supply is standard.
• Networked motion control: Typically supports EtherCAT and CANopen for tight multi‑axis synchronization and easy PLC integration.
• Advanced feedback options: Common Gold‑series feedbacks such as incremental encoder + Hall and absolute encoders (e.g., BiSS/EnDat) depending on options.
• Compact panel mount: Saves cabinet space while delivering high current dynamics; ideal for retrofits and dense multi‑axis panels.
• Rich I/O: Digital I/O and analog input channels to map limits, homing, interlocks, or torque/speed commands.
• Elmo tuning tools: Compatible with Elmo configuration software (EASII), which makes commissioning surprisingly quick in many cases.
• Protection & safety: Over‑voltage, over‑current, and thermal protections are standard; STO is commonly available on Gold drives (verify specific option on this unit).

Technical Specifications

Application Fields

In most cases, the G‑TUB30480FEHSNA2 fits where fast, accurate control at higher bus voltages is required:

• Packaging and converting lines (unwind, draw, cut, seal axes)
• Printing and web handling (tension, register, synchronized multi‑axis)
• Metal processing and machine tools (feed drives, spindles, rotary indexers)
• Semiconductor and electronics assembly (gantry axes, precision positioning)
• Intralogistics and material handling (sorters, lifters, conveyors with high dynamics)

A maintenance lead from a food packaging plant told us the Gold‑series tuning “saved hours on changeovers” because axis behavior stayed consistent after recipe changes—exactly the kind of repeatability this platform is known for.

Advantages & Value

• Reliability under load: Gold drives are known for stable operation at high bus voltages; fewer nuisance trips equals less downtime.
• Compatibility: EtherCAT/CANopen make it straightforward to connect with common PLCs and motion controllers.
• Cabinet space savings: Compact footprint typically reduces panel size and thermal load versus legacy large-frame drives.
• Lifecycle cost: Fast commissioning and integrated protections often translate to lower total cost of ownership.
• Technical support: Parameter sets, example projects, and remote assistance help you get to production faster.

Installation & Maintenance

• Cabinet requirements: Install in an IP‑rated industrial cabinet with adequate ventilation; maintain clearance for airflow and wiring bend radius.
• Power wiring: Use appropriately rated HV cabling and fusing; separate motor power from signal lines to reduce EMI. Protective earth bonding is essential.
• Control supply: Provide a stable 24 VDC auxiliary supply (typical for enable, logic, and communication).
• EMC practices: Use shielded motor/feedback cables, star‑point grounding, and ferrites as needed to meet CE/EMC performance.
• Tuning & setup: Commission with EASII; start with conservative current/velocity limits, then refine with auto‑tuning and notch filters if needed.
• Routine maintenance: Periodically check connector tightness, cabinet temperature, and fan/filter cleanliness; plan firmware updates during scheduled downtime.
• Safety: Verify STO wiring (if present) and interlock logic; test E‑stop and limit switches after changes to the control program.

Quality & Certifications

• Typically complies with CE and UL/CSA for industrial drives
• RoHS compliant; manufactured under ISO 9001 quality systems
• Manufacturer’s warranty: usually per OEM policy; our supply warranty is 365 days

Note: Specific options for the G‑TUB30480FEHSNA2 (e.g., exact feedback variant, STO, and rated current) can vary by build. If you share your motor model and bus voltage, we can confirm compatibility and provide the mechanical drawing and pinout that match your configuration.
